Mobile Phone For Smart Communicators

The more our phones do, the more they demand of us. Say it with words.

Focus on what matters most and leave the rest. The MP 01 is a simple mobile phone for smart communicators.

The MP 01 by Punkt, is a mobile phone striped down to its bare essentials. Punkt Phone is a mobile phone that´s just that, a mobile phone that sticks to its core functions, calling and texting.
It aims to be somewhat liberating, because you don´t have to check your status or notifications every two seconds and because Punkt Phone keeps it simple. 

This Swiss made device gets up to one month of battery time on standby or 290 hours of talking time! You also get a two inch LCD display, a calendar, an alarm and contacts manager. 

Back to basics in a high quality item.  

Abstract Photo Collages

Madrid-based photographer and artist Pablo Thecuadro creates abstract photo collages with a surreal touch.

Using editorial images from other photographers as well as his own, Thecuadro puts them together by hand with a cutter. He mainly shares his latest works on his Tumblr and his artworks has been featured in publications such as ELLE Serbia and Cosas Couture.

Leica X-U

The new Leica X-U is simple unstoppable because it can go underwater, in pouring rain, tropical heat or a blizzard. 

The camera features a sturdy body that can withstand falls, sandstorms, and water (it can be submerged up to 49 feet for up to 60 minutes). This is the first underwater camera with an APS-C Sensor, and it features 16.5MP, a 23mm f1.7 ASPH lens, a 3-inch LCD screen, and is capable of shooting 1080p HD video at 30p.  

With these features it is pretty much unstoppable.

Their latest masterpiece is this beautiful 1978 Land Cruiser FJ40, a build they consider to be their best work to date. 
The guys performed their trademark frame off nut and bolt restoration, replaced the door panels, windows, dash pads, and headliner, and re-upholstered the seats. They also rebuilt the 4.2-liter six-cylinder engine, four-speed transmission, and four-wheel-drive system.

Unequal World

Photographers Capture the Gap Between the Rich and the Poor

The story of inequality is impossible to ignore these days. While we may think we understand wealth through television and tabloids, what we see represents only a drop in the bucket.

The book 1% Privilege in a Time of Global Inequality features 50 images from different photographers that show vast class disparities around the world.

 

Residents dig through a trash dump in Beaufort West, South Africa. The photo quietly suggests the contrast between the un-pictured people who created the waste and those who must survive by digging through it.

A man floats in a swimming pool atop Singapore's Marina Bay Sands Hotel, the city's financial district looming behind him. Little says that Singapore is a "tax haven"—a place "where it’s legal for major corporations to hide their money from the tax man."

A man collects scraps to sell in the dilapidated Packard Motor Car Company plant in Detroit, Michigan. Before the collapse of Detroit's manufacturing sector, a person like him might have been able to find work here as an employee, rather than as a scavenger.

This gated community in Henderson, Nevada, shows "the environmental effects of our consumption and of our privileged lifestyles," Little says. You can create an oasis in the desert "if you add a tremendous amount of money and chemicals and water."

The image of a Chrysler 300 being assembled "speaks to pressures on the middle class," Little says. "You're seeing sparks and a robot and a fancy new car, but what you're not seeing is humans."

A store advertises its going-out-of-business sale. "This is another image that, to me, speaks about the pressures of the middle class," Little says. "The sadness of being of a hardworking family who is playing by the rules but who still can't make it."
